Old Man Ruan made the first move and joked: "How do you know?"
"Grandpa, she is a strong person." Mu Shaoling did not think too much and followed a step forward.
"You know her very well." Old Man Ruan murmured, and continued, "But this girl does have a similar temperament to Xiaobai. I remembered that when playing chess with Xiaobai, that girl always played me, but she didn't want me to give in. If I find out that I let him, that girl will be depressed for a long time."
Mu Shaoling showed a slight smile on his thin lips.
When the old man talked about Ruan Bai, he missed his granddaughter.
Little did he know that he had actually met Ruan Bai, but now she has a lot that she can't say, so she needs to continue to hide it.
"Shaoling." Old man Ruan called him.
"Yes." Mu Shaoling responded.
"How is that girl Xiaobai doing abroad now?" asked Old Man Ruan.
"Xiaobai is living a happy life now." Mu Shaoling looked at the kitchen. She has visited her grandfather and is preparing dinner with her aunt. This kind of life is very happy.
"That's good." Old Man Ruan sighed: "What I want to see most is that she can be happy, Shaoling. Sometimes things about emotions cannot be forced, so you have to make plans for your own happiness."
"I know." The old man didn't say it very clearly, but Mu Shaoling could understand the meaning of his words.
Although he is Ruan Bai's grandfather, he is not unaware of right and wrong.
The other side.
Nian Mu walked into the kitchen to help, but Ruan Manwei shook her head and said, "Nian Mu, you are a guest at home, how can you ask you to help?"
"Aunt Ruan, I have nothing to do, just let me do it." Nian Mu saw the apron hanging beside him, so he took the initiative to pick it up and put it on.
"This is not OK. Is Shaoling coming?" Ruan Manwei heard Mu Shaoling's voice coming from the living room.
"Mr. Mu is here, so I don't have to play chess with the old man." Nian Mu explained that she can't play chess with the old man, but she can do it when cooking.
"Oh, then you go and see them play chess and drink tea, don't mess around in the kitchen." Ruan Manwei was busy preparing supper, and adding a nanny was enough.
"Aunt Ruan, I can't understand the chess game. Please let me help." Nian Mu said helplessly. If she sat next to Mu Shaoling, she would definitely receive a fiery gaze.
She couldn't bear it.
Thinking of the little things she had with Mu Shaoling last night, her heart was still pounding now.
The man's actions were too strong, making her almost unable to withstand it.
Seeing her insisted, Ruan Manwei had to say, "Then, please help me wash the vegetables."
"Okay." Nian Mu Xinxiu agreed. It would be better to have something to do than to sit next to Mu Shaoling and watch him play chess.
After all, Mu Shaoling's eyes were ambiguous and hot, and she was worried that the old man would see through it.
After dinner, Ruan Manwei and Nianmu brought the dishes to the dinner table respectively.
Ruan Manwei walked to the living room, looked at the old man Ruan who was having a lot of fun playing chess with Mu Shaoling, and reminded with a smile: "Dad, Shaoling, you can have a meal."
"When we finish this game, it will be soon." Old Man Ruan touched his chin. The game with Mu Shaoling was very interesting, and the other party would not let him go.
This makes the whole chess game more interesting.
Although the old man lost a lot, the fun of playing chess was obviously increased.
"Okay, then you guys hurry up." Ruan Manwei looked at the old man's chess and walked to the dining table with a smile.
Nianmu looked at them.
As if he had a heart-to-heart relationship, Mu Shaoling also looked up at her at the same time.
Nian Mu immediately moved his eyes away.
Five minutes later, Old Man Ruan surrendered and sighed again: "It's still interesting to play chess with you. Your chess skills are much higher than your old man."
Mu Shaoling put away the chessboard, "Grandpa, my chess skills were also taught by the old man."
"The young man is better than the blue. He was not convinced when I said this last time." Old man Ruan said, waved to Ruan Man slightly, signaling her to come and help push the wheelchair.
After his health improved, Mr. Mu would occasionally come over to play chess with him.
Two old men can have a few pots of tea and a chessboard, and they can be put on for one afternoon.
Listening to the old man's words, Mu Shaoling finally understood why the old man always wanted him to go back to the old house for dinner during this period.
I'm afraid it's time to go back to the old house for dinner, and I'll try to learn chess skills with him.
Ruan Manwei walked over, pushed Old Man Ruan to the dining table, and adjusted the height of the wheelchair, "Dad, is this height OK?"
"Yes, it's very good." Old Man Ruan looked at Nian Mu with a smile, "Nian Girl, today's dishes are made by Manwei, they are all home-cooked dishes, which are different from those Western foods abroad, don't mind."
"Grandpa Ruan, Aunt Ruan's cooking skills are unique. I definitely won't mind. I will definitely taste them well. And I think home-cooked dishes are better than Western and French foods." Nian Mu said that some of her cooking skills were learned from Ruan Manwei.
So the dishes made by Ruan Manwei are delicious, she also knows this.
"There is nothing, just ordinary home-cooked dishes, come and eat them." Ruan Man said with a smile, and then looked at Mu Shaoling sitting opposite Nian Mu, "Shaoling, you can eat too."
"Okay, aunt." Mu Shaoling followed Ruan Bai to call them.
A meal is a joyful life.
Nianmu tasted the long-lost taste and was satisfied.
After dinner, because the weather was still cold, Old Man Ruan did not keep them.
Nian Mu and Mu Shaoling left the Ruan family together.
Just as she was about to find Cheng Wu's car to leave, Mu Shaoling said, "I'll let Cheng Wu get off work first, you can follow me in the car."
"Okay." Nian Mu did not refuse and got into Mu Shaoling's car and left.
In the car, the heating was blowing towards the space inside the car, driving away the cold little by little.
Nian Mu looked at the night scene that was constantly regressing, and remembered Ruan Manwei's body. She looked sideways at the man who was driving seriously in the driver's seat.
"Mr. Mu."
"You forgot what I said yesterday?" Mu Shaoling raised his eyebrows and did not look at her, but focused on the situation on the road.
Said yesterday...
Nian Mu's face turned red, remembering what he said yesterday.
"Shaoling..." she compromised, worried that his little persistence and habit would make him suddenly stop in the car and kiss him.
He has done this kind of thing before.
Similarly, it was also because of something she did that caused him to feel strong dissatisfaction.
"Yeah." Mu Shaoling was very satisfied and knew that it would take some time to correct her torture and be cautious.
"I have something I want to ask you," Nian Mu said.
"I can help with your affairs." Mu Shaoling agreed directly without asking anything.
He was not afraid that she would dig a hole for himself.
At the same time, he knew that Nian Mu would not cheat him.
